Dynamically adding @property in python
- by rz
I know that I can dynamically add an instance method to an object by doing something like:
import types
def my_method(self):
# logic of method
# ...
# instance is some instance of some class
instance.my_method = types.MethodType(my_method, instance)
Later on I can call instance.my_method() and self will be bound correctly and everything works.
Now, my question: how to do the exact same thing to obtain the behavior that decorating the new method with @property would give?
I would guess something like:
instance.my_method = types.MethodType(my_method, instance)
instance.my_method = property(instance.my_method)
But, doing that instance.my_method returns a property object.
